Talc, actinolite, and chlorite are dominant.
SEM analyses show that fine shreds, like microcrystalline talc crystals, are associated mainly
with actinolite and chlorite, and actinolites are mainly transformed into chlorite and talc. Ni and Cr contents of the Emirdağ talcs are
consistent with the composition of the talc deposits formed in relation to ultramafic rocks. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry,
chemical analysis, and Mössbauer spectroscopy results show that iron in the Emirdağ samples was mainly derived from talc minerals
and this iron occurs as Fe+2 in the crystal lattice structure of talc. Because removal of iron from Emirdağ talc seems difficult during
mineral processing techniques, the Emirdağ talc can be used in its crude state in the cosmetic, paint, and paper industries as a secondary
raw material.
